Abstract

"A Disembodied Woman: The events portrayed in this DVD took place in a small Brazilian town between 1996 and 1998. Deuseli was 19 years old when she was brutally raped. She was not allowed to have an abortion and ended the first act of the narrative disappearing from her hometown. Months later, she was the key player in another crime. This time, she was the murderer of her 11-mont-old daughter. In a ritual classified as satanic by some people and historical by others, Deuseli relived the rape scene and then drowned her daughter in a bathtub. Deuseli died months later of unknown causes. Recounting Deuseli's rape, murder and death, lawyers, doctors and exorcists reveal the story of her life."
